Forcing me to keep vigil for your childhood sweetheart? Then I'll leave you.

Chapter 181 Something is wrong with the Chamber of Commerce

Because there were only four guns in the entire military camp, Prince Qing directly forged a batch of new muskets from the military camp at the foot of the mountain. Later, all the accompanying equipment was also forged.

Of course, during the training period, these soldiers, under Lin Yi's guidance, began to train shooting and aiming using some decent-looking wooden sticks.

As time passed, five days later, 600 guns were delivered, along with the matching equipment.

From that day on, all the soldiers began to learn how to use the matchlock gun from Prince Qing, Yu Jin and the other three.

Then, gunfire broke out throughout the military camp.

And amidst the constant noise of explosions, Lin Yi began to do his own thing.

After all, training was not his job. All he had to do was leave some "guiding documents".

While they were training, Lin Yi kept writing in the room.

Except for eating and resting times, Lin Yi would appear. Otherwise, he basically stayed in the room writing.

Days passed like this, and Lin Yi was not annoyed at all because he was constantly writing down his thoughts.

It's even interestingly written.

After all, people always have some imaginations of fighting. From children to old men, everyone has the illusion of fighting in one way or another.

Of course, Lin Yi would also chat with some soldiers during his breaks.

"Master Lin, this musket needs to be loaded from the front, and it also needs to be pushed in with a rod, which is actually quite troublesome."

While sitting and eating, these soldiers also started chatting with Lin Yi.

At this time, Prince Qing and Yu Jin also began to talk to Lin Yi about improvements.

"I know this isn't enough right now."

Lin Yi nodded while eating, "But for now, just practice. After you guys get familiar with this fighting style, I'll come up with a new design."

"Master Lin, just tell me!"

"Yes! Lord Lin, we also have something to think about."

……

Under the eager gazes of these soldiers, Lin Yi could only reveal a little.

"Okay, then I'll change the loading process to firing from the back."

"At least until you are well trained."

As Lin Yi spoke, he always felt that these soldiers were not trained enough, so he looked at Prince Qing and Yu Jin.

Compared to the two of them, Yang Jian and Huang Chang didn't have so much to say.

After all, they believe that war should be fought with real guns and swords, and these weapons can at least kill the enemy when approaching or before the enemy rushes towards them during the battle.

So in their concepts, attaching a sword to a matchlock gun to turn it into a spear is the real way to fight.

"By the way, why don't you go hunting?"

"It's a good opportunity to test your fighting ability against living creatures."

Lin Yi scratched his head as he spoke, "Just shooting at a target doesn't feel like much. Seeing blood would be a good way to add some extra food to the barracks."

As he said this, all the soldiers laughed.

This activity is called hunting. In fact, Yang Jian and Huang Chang often held it when they led troops in Yan State. It was mainly used to train the soldiers' individual mobility and combat effectiveness.

At the same time, you can also find some powerful soldiers and select them into the elite.

After Lin Yi's encouragement, the soldiers were eager to try it out and wanted to see how powerful the musket was.

After all, there are tigers and wild boars in this mountain, which is actually quite dangerous.

Hunting in this way can "eliminate harm for the people."

Seeing the soldier's reaction, Lin Yi slowly breathed a sigh of relief and continued eating.

The next day, the soldiers went out hunting in batches, with Prince Qing, Yu Jin, Huang Chang and Yang Jian each leading a team.

Lin Yi finally had some peace and quiet. He had been hearing explosions frequently these days, which actually annoyed him.

Although the sound of the explosion was still there, it was a bit far away, so he could finally concentrate on writing.

After more than two months, when spring was almost over, Lin Yi finally took out his "masterpiece".

The first group to see it were the four people including Prince Qing.

"There are two books in total. One is about the use of muskets and the corresponding training methods."

"It includes the overall preparation and use of this batch of equipment."

Lin Yi watched them flipping through the book and explained, "This is called the Preliminary Notes on Firearms."

It provides a detailed introduction to the matchlock gun, from its usage to the distance the bullet can be fired, how to aim, how to "fix the bayonet", and even various instructions for backpacks and armor plates.

"Yes, if we have this, new recruits can get started quickly."

Prince Qing nodded slightly. He actually had an idea. When these weapons could be mass-produced in the future, the traditional old-style armies that used swords as their main force would be eliminated.

Then the second one.

The words "Fire Gun Martial Arts Classic" are written on the cover.

This book shocked them from the first page they opened.

Just by looking at the catalog, you can learn a lot of fighting methods.

Lin Yi has sorted out all the fighting styles he has seen in his previous life.

This includes but is not limited to frontal phalanx shooting, and flanking shooting by skirmishers...

From the wide battlefield to the narrow terrain, Lin Yi introduced the usage in detail.

There are even many uses in actual warfare.

"You don't make this up, do you?"

Prince Qing frowned slightly, feeling that Lin Yi might have really fought in a war.

Because he saw some things in there that he could only understand by going to the battlefield in person!

"Uh...I made that up."

"Your Highness, you know that my father was once a member of the army."

"It's just that he died in battle before."

“I used to ask him that when I was little.”

After Lin Yi’s explanation, everything became clear!

With these two magical books, plus the training of Prince Qing and his men, the new army armed with muskets is ready!

Then Lin Yi took out the last thing he had prepared: a design drawing.

"This is the cannon I mentioned. You can just enlarge it according to the proportions of a musket and shorten the barrel."

Lin Yi said this as he handed over the design and several other papers with relevant data. "Don't forget the thirty thousand taels."

"Are you still thinking about the thirty thousand taels?"

"No problem, I'll give it to you when I return to Liangzhou City."

Prince Qing smiled as he spoke, and Yu Jin beside him also said that the Ministry of War would also take out the money.

"Then, there should be nothing for me to do here, right?"

Seeing that Prince Qing and Yu Jin were satisfied, Lin Yi could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"That's good. With these we should be able to take with us to training."

Prince Qing looked at Yu Jin, then at Yang Jian and Huang Chang.

After staying in the army for more than two months, Lin Yi was finally "liberated"!

He stretched, then slowly stood up and said, "I'm leaving now. I have to go back to the capital."

Having said this, Yang Jian and Huang Chang brought their men to escort him all the way to the original military camp, and then he took a carriage back.

But when he arrived in the capital, he found that everyone in the Chamber of Commerce had been replaced!

The rooms originally occupied by Chen Chong and Xu Chuan have been replaced by new people!
